Educators in Rochester joined teachers across the state in asking for less standardized testing, a fairer teacher evaluation process, and more input in the development of standards - part of a national "Day of Action" to counter the direction of national education reform.

"The overriding message is reclaiming the promise of public education," said Richard Iannuzzi, president of New York State United Teachers, who spoke Monday at an event at Nyack High School in Rockland County with American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten, parents and legislators.
